• Abstract: Weakly supervised learning has been rapidly advanced in biomedical image analysis to achieve pixel-wise labels (segmentation) from image-wise annotations (classification), as biomedical images naturally contain image-wise labels in many scenarios. The current weakly supervised learning algorithms from the computer vision community are largely designed for focal objects (e.g., dogs and cats). However, such algorithms are not optimized for diffuse patterns in biomedical imaging (e.g., stains and fluorescence in microscopy imaging). In this paper, we propose a novel class-aware codebook learning (CaCL) algorithm to perform weakly supervised learning for diffuse image patterns. Specifically, the CaCL algorithm is deployed to segment protein expressed brush border regions from histological images of human duodenum. Our contribution is three-fold: (1) we approach the weakly supervised segmentation from a novel codebook learning perspective; (2) the CaCL algorithm segments diffuse image patterns rather than focal objects; and (3) the proposed algorithm is implemented in a multi-task framework based on Vector Quantised-Variational AutoEncoder (VQ-VAE) via joint image reconstruction, classification, feature embedding, and segmentation. The experimental results show that our method achieved superior performance compared with baseline weakly supervised algorithms. The code is available at https://github.com/ddrrnn123/CaCL.
